Trump Suggests Megyn Kelly Challenged Him Because She Had Her Period

Donald Trump keeps “defending” himself from Megyn Kelly’s debate confrontation about his sexism by making sexist attacks on her.

After Kelly confronted Trump during Thursday night’s debate about his history of calling women “fat pigs, dogs, slobs and disgusting animals,” he tweeted that she’s a “bimbo.” Friday night, he went on CNN Tonight and suggested to anchor Don Lemon that Kelly was being irrational because she was having her period.

TRUMP: I just don’t respect her as a journalist. I have no respect for her. I don’t think she’s very good, I think she’s highly over-rated. But when I came out there, what am I doing? I’m not getting paid for this. I go out there and you know, they start saying lift up your arm if you’re going to – then and, you know, I didn’t know there would be 24 million people. I knew it was going to be a big crowd because I get big crowds. I get ratings. They call me the ratings machine.

She gets out and she starts asking me all sorts of ridiculous questions. And you could see there was blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her wherever. In my opinion, she was off-base. ...She's a lightweight, I couldn't care less about her.

Btw, Trump is now saying that his “blood coming from out of her wherever” remark was referring to her nose. Bwaah!

From the story by Mediaite’s Josh Feldman: “And once again, I would just like to emphasize that we have someone running for president who had to clarify which orifice on a female journalist he believed blood was coming out of.”
